Alternative form of Boltzmann's constant
Examples
From Planck's constant h and the Boltzmann constant k, Wien's constant b can be obtained.
Introducing the Boltzmann constant transforms the ideal gas law into an alternative form: : where N is the number of molecules of gas.
The USSA1976 acknowledges that this value is not consistent with the cited values for the Avogadro constant and the Boltzmann constant.
In this context temperature is measured effectively in units of energy and the Boltzmann constant is not explicitly needed.
Note too that the Boltzmann constant and its related formulas establish that absolute zero is the point of both zero kinetic energy of particle motion and zero kinetic velocity (see also Note 1 above).
The Boltzmann constant and its related formulas describe the realm of particle kinetics and velocity vectors whereas ZPE is an energy field that jostles particles in ways described by the mathematics of quantum mechanics.
